Going on a camping trip and noticed that the campground I'm going to has a skatepark. Been forever since I got my old scoot out and wanted to bring it but already have plans for the motorcycle(incredible back roads there and back that I don't want to miss.) My scoot of choice is my old Razor a5 lux that I used to ride to school with so it doesn't fit in any of my usual bags.
Thank you city of Fredericksburg for the free bruise on my tailbone while I was out riding my Harley on route 1. Very cool.
Wanted to bring attention to the quality on this one. Should have known it wouldn't be everything I hoped it was at such a sweet price point.
First off, the sound is incredible. Holy loud. I wanted a neighbor hater and I sure as fuck got one. However the paint that these came with from vtwin manufacturing is unacceptable. I'm not usually one to complain about products, I'm more of the "well shit I guess I made this bed now I have to sleep in it" kind of guy. Not gonna work here. Only been running this exhaust for a few months and it's already blown out by the heat.
I'm not a fan of the tire combo that this 95 1200 came with when I bought it. Especially the dunlop on the front, feels like I'm about to lose it in every corner especially on loose dirt.
Was debating a dual sport set up or just give up on the dirt dreams and let my Kawasaki take care of camping trips from here on out. If I do give up on the dirtster idea, does anybody have opinions on the shinko 270 super classics? They look incredible but I'm not sure about how they would handle in the rain and such.
Opinions needed.
Anybody seen those empty Ford explorer interceptors parked in the grass in some intersections around Fredericksburg? It's not like they have cameras rolling in them, the batteries in the car would die because they leave them out for weeks at a time. What's that point of having them posted up like that?
I like the look and feel of these bars but I'm leaned forward too far for the kind of riding I do. Should I get taller risers with pull back, swap to T-bars, or suffer for the look I'm going for?
*P.S. don't mind the chopped fender, it's a temporary fender until I get my duckbill fender painted*
I don't know if it's a buddy system or what but now that the weather is getting warmer here in the US, everybody is getting their bikes out and riding again. Just today I had a group of 5 other bikers of all different manufacturers group up with me and we just road alongside each other until we had to split off and go our separate ways. One guy was an Indian, two Yamaha's that were probably already riding together, a newer Harley, and a fellow Kawasaki. Totally random and unplanned, but it made my day to ride together. Is there a name for this phenomenon or is it an unspoken rule. *Ape together strong* type shit.
'95 sporty 1200 with the dual gauge bracket is broken. I assume this is a common issue when "previous owners" over tighten the bar clamp. Is there a cheaper semipermanent solution or should I just buy the overpriced replacement and do it correctly?
